SHORT-FORM VIDEO · Workflow idea

Find the strongest moments in a long video and shape them for a shorter format.

For a creator with rights to a source video and its transcript, identify possible short segments and prepare edited clips for an editor to review. A transcript can be inaccurate, and a short excerpt can lose context or misrepresent the speaker. Confirm the source and participant permissions, check start and end points against the original footage, preserve meaning and required credits, and require an editor to approve the exact clip and destination before publication.

The handoff

A set of candidate clips with source references, time ranges, and editor approval status.

Keep in mind

A selected excerpt may omit qualifications or distort what a speaker meant, and the creator may not have rights to reuse all footage or audio. Check each clip against the original, confirm participant and music permissions, and approve its context and destination before sharing.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Use only authorized source footage

Document video ownership, participant consent, and any third-party media rights.

Set editorial rules for context and cuts

Define how quotes, start and end points, captions, and disclosures are checked.

Keep candidate clips private

Restrict access to editors until rights and editorial review are complete.

Require approval for each audience and channel

Keep posting paused until an editor confirms the exact final clip and destination.
